Are you an EU citizen currently in India or Bhutan ? Learn more about your right to consular protection and how you can benefit from it in India. All 27 EU Member States are represented in Delhi. Some Member States have consulates in other cities as well
Consular protection is the help an EU Member State can provide to its citizens in case they need assistance abroad. Typically, consular protection can include cases such as:
A need for emergency travel documents;
A serious accident or serious illness;
Relief and repatriation in case of an emergency;
Being a victim of crime;
Arrest or detention;
Death.

Are you an EU citizen in need of consular protection in India or Bhutan?
You can contact your Embassy in New Delhi (see below for your embassy contact details)
In Bhutan there are no EU Member States represented therefore you may contact your embassy in New Delhi if you require assistance.
Please note that any EU citizen abroad whose own Member State has no local representation (this is not the case in India as all EU MS are represented) is entitled to receive consular protection from the diplomatic or consular authorities of any other EU Member State. In that case, EU citizens are entitled to benefit from consular protection under the same conditions as the nationals of that other EU Member State.
Please note that the EU Delegation to India and Bhutan cannot provide direct consular assistance.
As an EU citizen, you can take simple steps to make consular protection more effective, for example:
Following the travel advice issued by your country’s Foreign Ministry.
When abroad, registering with your Embassy or Consulate and/or through dedicated platforms, if applicable.
Other tips include keeping an electronic copy of your travel documents, subscribing to a travel insurance or saving crisis contact details.
